Q. I was telling one of my friends about all my ideas I have for tattoos I want, and when I mentioned that one that I wanted would be on my lower back, he just told me that any lower back tattoo would be too trashy, no matter what it was of.
I know that the so-called "tramp stamp" is over done, but I would have more than just a lower back tattoo.
Also, what do you think of my tattoo ideas:
I want a portrait of my grandmother on my right shoulder, we were very close so this is a memorial tattoo
I want a Tree of Gondor on my upper back, not just because it looks nice, but because of what it represents. It represents hope and love and there is a lot of symbolism but I will spare you the "history" lesson. also, I am a huge LOTR fan, it something that reminds me of my family, as we are all huge LOTR fans, and it brings us together in a way.
Below that I want an ankh, flanked on each side by cherry blossoms.
The ankh because it represents life and it also reminds me of when I was a kid, and I first found my love of history when my teacher was getting us ready to visit an exhibit about Egyptology. The cherry blossoms for both their Chinese and Japanese meanings.
Below that i would like the inscription on the One Ring. This is for my love of LOTR.
And below that, in the typical "tramp stamp" spot, I want a steal your face, i really love grateful dead. i know there are pros and cons of getting a band symbol, but it would also be for my best mate, he is a huge dead head. but not just that, my mom was so strict and controlling that even into my adult life i was afraid to stand up to her, but he helped me find my voice, stand up for myself, and break out of my shell, even if our friendship ends badly, i am so much better off for having known him.
on my left wrist i want a tattoo of the words "Elen sila lumenn omentielvo" (A star shines upon the hour of our meeting) in the tengwar script. I like the formality of the saying and I also like to meet new people now that i am allowed to go out and be myself, it will be small enough to be covered by a watch or chunky bracelet
sorry for writing a book :)

A. A 'Tramp Stamp', which is a derogatory term for a certain type of tribal style lower back tattoo, is usually used by the geeks who aren't getting any, and a few hateful women who don't have the figure for them. All lower back tattoos do not fall into that category, but it's difficult to educate the masses, when the favorite American pastime is for people to spout derogatory things about others, the object being to make themselves look better, as if that makes any sense. The Grateful Dead logo would only be called a 'Tramp Stamp' by the ignorant and uninformed. I'm not real big on 'quote' tattoos, but hey, it's your ink. Whatever melts your butter. But, like I said, lower back tattoos are fine, a lot of very nice women pay large amounts of hard-earned money to get really good work done in that vicinity, as well as other places. The really 'trashy' tramps of the world are actively vulgar-mouthed as well as promiscious. It has little or nothing to do with ink that costs hundreds of dollars in the first place. Eye-poppin' skin art doesn't come cheap. Neither do the women who go to the expense of wearing it. (P.S. Since you mentioned the Grateful Dead, if you can find it, there's a live album called Live Dead, released in '69, that has a blues cut called 'Death Don't Have No Mercy' which you've just gotta hear... it'll take your head off, and burn up your wires. Take care.
Has anybody heard of BICO Australia? Its jewelry. Do you like it? Is it worth buying?
Q.
A. Bico Australia was started by two Australian surfers from the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney.
Bico jewelry is modern, urban style chains and pendants based on tribal, cultural, and tattoo symbols from around the world. The Bico jewelry artists in Australia take ancient symbols and make contemporary and urban street-wear designs from them. Bico is for both Men & Women.
Meanings: The very cool addition to Bico Australia necklaces is that all the pendants have meanings, so you get a piece of jewelry with a unique look that can stand for something that's important to you.
Just to give a few examples: Strength & Power, Luck in Love, Indestructible Spirit, Protection from Evil, The Hunter, Fearless, Good Luck, Guts & Glory, Stronger than Steel, High Risk High Reward, Peace, Faith without Limits . . . .
There's also familiar symbols such as crosses, asian tattoo Kanji characters, the Om, celtic knots, zodiac astrology symbols, Hamsa, ankh, dragon tattoo, faces, fish, and spiders.
If you'd like to see all the designs and the different meanings for each symbol, they are on our website at:
www.TribalHollywood.com
Because Bico Australia was started by surfers, there are also surf and skate style leather necklaces. The founders wanted jewelry that looked cool on a board (surf, skate, or snow) and would hold up to the outdoors (all the silver plated jewelry has an invisible protective coating to retain the finish & Bico is very high quality). Bico also has great bracelets with unique patterns and leather wrist cuffs.
I hope that helps. If you are ever in Hollywood, CA our store is located at the ArcLight Cinemas complex where the famous Cinerama Dome is on Sunset Blvd. We would be happy to show you the Bico Australia jewelry in person.
